New music continue to surfaces from the late Johnny Ca$h, thanks to his mom

For years, a mourning Troy Castaneda said she wouldn’t go near her son’s music. But she couldn’t ignore his legacy.

“I woke up one day and I decided to just bring him back,” she said, adding, “He had this huge book of material.”

Johnny Castaneda aka “Johnny Ca$h” was a Richmond resident, a rising hip hop star, and a protege to the slain Mac Dre, when he was fatally shot in Vallejo on March 29, 2007.
